Anyone Know Where I Can Get Hi-Quality Image/3D/Real Model of Metal Gear TX?

[L___E___T]

It definitely looks better - I think there would be a softer an larger shadow on the leaf from the MG though right?  The light source looks to be behind the MG, but the shadows don't match up with that, so maybe that's why it looks out of place.  The top of the leaf would be more lit, with the lower darker and the leaf looks too thick to have as sharp a shadow.  I'm probably looking too much into it though..

Here's the third run:



Come to look at it, I think it's a little too dark now.

Same with the foliage, not sure that was a good idea. :/

I should've saved copies before making changes.  Oh well; I still have my photoshop file at school.

I think it looks great.  The font at the top is always the thing that gets me, though.  I just don't like it.  It's stands out too much for me.  Just my opinion though.

[Jedi Master Baiter]

How would you make it look like?

[cubelmariomadness]

If it were me, I'd just chop off the no one is safe.  it's just kinda flashy for a super tank. I like the foliage idea, but maybe I'd shrink it just a tad.

[nintendodork]

How would you make it look like?

I kind of agree with CMM, but if you really wanted to keep it there, maybe a smaller size and translucent text or something?  I dunno, I'm not really sure what I'd do to it.


Edit*
I thought of looking through Google images to see if I could find anything cool, and I found this from a Marvel poster.


Not necessarily translucent text, but maybe something that doesn't stand out so much from the rest of the poster.  That's what I was thinking of.

[Jedi Master Baiter]

Ultimatum? Damnit, why, Marvel, why?!

Anyways, I see what you're saying - but the font stays - unless someone has another suggestion?

And the foliage kinda sucks - especially in the front where I used "liquify." If you look (not so) closely you can tell how bad it is.

Edit:

Yes! I fixed the "foliage" in a way I like.  This time I have two proposals:

a.) I really like the red text & want to stick with it & used a linear light blend mode on it (it's also smaller & uses ellipses instead of "!" :



b.) This time the Luminosity blend mode is used, which ignores the red color altogether, & is more discreet:



I also added a wind effect to the "METAL GEAR" title.  Let me know if you don't like it; I can always switch it back (saved a copy this time ).

Edit: I'm going to see about adding a "reflection" on the glass part of the Metal Gear.

B is a lot better than A, I think. 

[L___E___T]

I agree with B.  Did you think of spicing up the logo and possibly credits with some colour / effects?  I don't think the Wind is good as it makes the logo look like poor quality.

I'm wondering if the depth of field could be increased with some touch up layering on the mid and foreground foliage.  It could be hard to achieve without a tablet to draw them on convincingly though.

I also say B is better.

[Jedi Master Baiter]

Okay, no wind effect - got it.

I still like the red color though.  Maybe I'll do something in between.

Edit: Canned the red - decided to go with a brighter than olive drab green, somewhat like the color of the main title.

Edit:  Canned the dark blue - saw what was meant about not matching with the "supertank" & decided to go with a more gray-like color.

Edit: I decided to do two of them:

Cool - I actually prefer yours to the other examples you link to.  Much more evocative of 80s movies for so many reasons.

[Jedi Master Baiter]

I think Téa Leoni would make an awesome Meryl, but I don't think Michael Biehn would be playing Snake in Metal Gear Solid; I'd imagine him being canned from the series after the first one - kinda like in Terminator.

If I did one for Metal Gear 2, it would read: MEL GIBSON   RICHARD CRENNA   TOM BERENGER   METAL GEAR   DOLPH LUNDGREN   CHRISTINA APPLEGATE   &   SEAN CONNERY because you know how sometimes a big star is on the very end

[L___E___T]

but Michael Biehn was in Terminator 2

I'd like David Ginola as snake if he could be dubbed over with David Hayter's voice and it worked..
